The Emraan Hashmi & Vikram Bhatt partnership
After 9 years apart, they came back together for Raaz 3 (2012). They didn't share a set between 2003 and 2012. From Footpath (2003) to Raaz Reboot (2016).
The work is uneven: Footpath (5.4) at one end, Hamari Adhuri Kahani (1.0) at the other. It started with Footpath (2003).
The shape of the work
The 2010s account for 80% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Footpath; the 2010s to Raaz 3. Emraan Hashmi acted in every film; Vikram Bhatt directed all of them. Mostly Hindi, with 1 film in Hindi .
Partnership facts
- Bhatt cast Hashmi in Footpath (2003) after seeing his raw energy in a small role in 'Dil Hai Tumhaara'. He bet on Hashmi to carry a film as the lead — and that bet launched Hashmi's career as a mainstream hero.
- On the set of Raaz 3 (2012), Bhatt told Hashmi to stop overthinking his lines and just 'feel the fear'. Hashmi later said that note changed how he approached horror — he stopped acting and started reacting.
- Their collaboration on Raaz 3 (2012) directly revived the horror genre in Bollywood. The film's ₹70 crore+ box office made every studio greenlight a horror sequel — including Bhatt's own '1920' series and 'Haunted'.
- Hashmi and Bhatt had a falling out after Mr. X (2015) flopped. Bhatt felt Hashmi didn't promote the film enough; Hashmi felt the script was weak. They didn't speak for two years, and only patched up briefly for Raaz Reboot (2016).
- Hashmi once said about Bhatt: 'He doesn't direct actors — he hypnotizes them. On Raaz 3, he whispered the scene in my ear and I just did it. I didn't even know what I was saying.'
